  1. Since the EDAD 2008 drew no distinction between 0 and 1, these two options were combined as 0%-24%, which matches a mid-point score of 12%
  2. A global score was obtained for capacity measurements but not for performance. To calculate such a global score, a total of 32 variables were -not always unequivocally- selected to build 32 ICF categories from the ICF checklist (Tables 1 and 3). Answers of inapplicable and missing values were replaced by 1 (no or mild difficulty).
